This week we did some rockin’ art. The first day Ms. Vernon talked about the rules. Then we watched a video about Lara Burch. She is an artist that demonstrated the technique of overlapping. We worked on overlapping animals. Overlapping makes your art look 3-D. Then we did funky faces that look like us except funkier. That was the sparkling, dazzling, wonderful day of art!
